Omron FZ4 Vision System Application


Omron FZ4 Vision System On high speed productions lines, tube sealers may not always be able to completely seal the product tube. A main factor for this can be due to incorrect temperature settings or product splash back in the seal area.

To deal with this issue and to ensure that all tube seals are correctly in place, More Control offers an innovative vision system to measure the seal width in multiple areas. This enables that a failed tube can be detected and rejected from the production line immediately.


Omron Fz4 Vision System


The Omron FZ4 Vision System is able to work at exceptionally high speeds (this example shows just 24ms) A detection area is set which is the same as the tube diameter. The Omron Vision system looks for the maximum edge width in multiple sections of this area. The width is measured between the pairs of green crosses.

If a tube is incorrectly sealed, the width of the seal increases. A threshold is set in the controller to reject anything larger than the widest good seal.
